Johnson defended the UK’s arms sales to Saudi Arabia last month, stating, “the key test for our continued arms exports to Saudi Arabia in relation to international humanitarian law is whether those weapons might be used in a commission of a serious breach of international humanitarian law. Having regard to all the information available to us, we assess this test has not been met.”

The Stop the War coalition, which Johnson targeted in his speech, responded to the new foreign secretary’s proposal, said it was “quite amazing” that Johnson was “taken seriously at all on issues of foreign policy.”

The group, which organized massive protests against the UK’s involvement in the Iraq war which Johnson voted for, said the “bloody history” of the war on terror was being “willfully ignored in efforts to push for more war.”

Boris Johnson didn’t last long as For Sec before making an absolute buffoon of himself. Nothing more than a DC mouthpiece #AleppoDebate
